Opening Nights

ANONYMOUS

Opens Friday, May 18 at the Robinson Theatre and throughout Villard Hall.

OK. OK. We are not capable of describing this splendiferous multivalent work o’ art. So here’s what the UO sent us: “University Theatre’s season concludes with a project two terms in the making. Anonymous is a tour-de-force performance spanning the entirety of Villard Hall and involving students across multiple disciplines in a decided rejection of traditional notions of theatre. …The audience is invited to attend at any time between 8 pm and 10 pm. The experience is self-directed and will presumably take about an hour and a half.” That’s just cool. The idea, anyway — we’re looking forward to seeing the execution. Show dates are May 18-19, 24-26 & 31 and June 1-2. Call 346-4363 for tix.

READINGS IN REP

Opens Friday, May 18 at the Willamette Rep in the Hult Center.

The Rep does this excellent thing each year about supporting playwrights and delivering high-quality theater for a great price (for more on that, see page 43). Friday’s play, SWM, is by Greg Foote; Matt Ginsberg penned Old Friends, and that’s on Saturday night; and Sunday afternoon features Pigs in Love by Dorothy Velasco. Show dates, obviously, are May 18, 19 & 20. You get one shot for each show, so don’t miss out! Call 682-5000 for tix.
